Sorry if I've missed the blindingly obvious here, but was it not scheduled for all machines to be fourstroke in 2006? Is this still on the cards or has it been delayed?

yes you have ,possibly never

depend ont the emissions test, but ive heard it all might go 4t by 2007

Hopefully never, but I doubt there would be a WTC if they imposed it against the factories without agreement and that ain't going to happen for a while.

so far three replies, possibly never, hopefully never, and it might.

I don't have a clue but havn't seen an official FIM statement saying one way or the other.

Give us the choice...

I agree, if there is a choice it must be better for the sport.

Thats a very agreeable agreement then.

Plus of course there is only one factory capable of producing a 4 stroke thats as competetive as a 2 stroke.

Oh, have you ridden the Scorpa then?

ive had a go on a montesa 4rt. i didnt like the idea of 4t but since ive been on that bike i wouldnt mind. still prefer the 2t at the end of the day.

Well everything that has been said for the past year or so about the likes of gas gas going 4t are all rumours. Personally i hope that wtc doesn't go 4t, especially after one particularly strong rumour that gg have made a 2t engine that produces less emissions and is much quieter that the montesa 4t.

Lets have some real stories from the factories and the FIM and just get the whole rumour mill over so we can move on to our next bike!!!
